A cell with a negative voltage charge.
An electrolytic cell
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell. This is where cations in the electrolyte solution gain electrons and get reduced, leading to the deposition of a substance onto the cathode.
The breakdown of molecules to release energy occurs in the mitochondria of a cell through a process called cellular respiration. This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source, as well as carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
Mitochondria, which are membrane-bound organelles found in cells, controls the release of energy from food through a process known as cellular respiration. They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell due to their role in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source of energy for cellular activities.
Mitochondria are organelles that are scattered throughout the cell and are responsible for controlling the release of energy from food to form ATP through the process of cellular respiration.
electrolytic cells
electrical energy into chemical energy
In an electrolytic cell, electrical energy is transformed into chemical energy. This occurs when an external voltage is applied to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction to produce a desired chemical product.

Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive.
In an electrolytic cell, an external power source is needed to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction, while in a voltaic cell, the redox reaction is spontaneous and generates electric energy. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a voltaic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive.
A nonspontaneous redox reaction is driven by an external source of electrical energy, such as a battery, when a current passes through the electrolytic cell. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative; electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, and oxidation occurs at the anode while reduction occurs at the cathode.
In an electrolytic cell, the anode is designated as positive.
