The center of many galaxies is suspected to house a "supermassive black hole". The black hole may even weigh more than all the stars in that galaxy combined. Spiral galaxies are more likely to contain a supermassive black hole.

What do active galaxies differ from normal galaxies?

Galaxies that emit much more radiation (different types of radiation) than a typical galaxy. This actually happens in the galaxy's center, so it's more accurate to talk about an active galactic nucleus. The active galactic nucleus is believed to be caused by a black hole. From Wikipedia: " The radiation from AGN is believed to be a result of accretion of mass by a supermassive black hole at the centre of its host galaxy."

Shines brightly in the center of a distant galaxy because of the friction of material spiraling around it?

The bright center of a distant galaxy is likely a supermassive black hole. The friction and collision of material spiraling around the black hole generates high temperatures and intense light emissions, making it appear bright from afar. This process is known as "accretion" and is a key feature of active galactic nuclei.
