Fuel cells and batteries are similar because they use a chemical reaction to provide electricity. A battery stores the chemical reactants, usually metal compounds like lithium, zinc or manganese. Once used up, you must recharge or throw away the battery. A fuel cell actually creates electricity through reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) stored externally. The fuel cell will produce electricity as long as it has a fuel supply. In short, a fuel cell vehicle is refueled instead of recharged.
A fuel cell is different from a battery cell in so far as reactants are constantly supplied to a fuel cell making it an open system whereas a battery cell is a closed system that stores the reactants within it. A fuel cell works as long as fuel is supplied to it whereas a battery cell requires regular replacements.

A fuel cell (like a battery) converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The main difference being in the fuel cell the energy rich chemicals are continually being resupplied, while in a battery the energy rich chemicals were put in when the battery was initially assembled and cannot readily be replaced or resupplied.
No. A battery is a fuel cell, a millimeter is a unit of length.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device whiles a solar cell is a device that converts photons from the sun into electricity.
A fuel cell generates electricity from a chemical reaction between a fuel source and an oxidizing agent, without requiring any recharging. A voltaic cell is a device that generates electricity from a spontaneous chemical reaction between two different metals or materials, which eventually stops producing electricity as the reactants are consumed.
It has no battery, it is fuel cell operated from solar energy.
An electrochemical cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reactions, and it can function in both galvanic (battery) and electrolytic modes. A fuel cell, on the other hand, is a specific type of electrochemical cell that continuously converts the chemical energy of a fuel (usually hydrogen) and an oxidant (like oxygen) into electricity, water, and heat, as long as fuel is supplied. In essence, while all fuel cells are electrochemical cells, not all electrochemical cells are fuel cells; the latter has a continuous reactant supply and often operates at higher efficiencies.
Benthic Microbial Fuel Cells are basically a microbial fuel cell. Instead of the anode being placed deep into sediment [MFC]- the anode is placed in a chamber where monitored amounts of neutrients/fresh water can enter and be controlled [BFMC]
ATP is called the energy source (battery) of the cell.
