an electric current causes a chemical reaction
In an electrolytic cell
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
A dry cell is a type of voltaic cell that uses a paste electrolyte, such as manganese dioxide, instead of a liquid electrolyte. Voltaic cells, on the other hand, can have different types of electrolytes, including liquid solutions. Dry cells are commonly used in batteries for everyday devices, while voltaic cells are used in various industrial applications and laboratories.

A Galvanic cell, or Voltaic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, or Alessandro Volta respectively, is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from chemical reactions taking place within the cell. It generally consists of two different metals connected by a salt bridge, or individual half-cells separated by a porous membrane.An electrolytic cell decomposes chemical compounds by means of electrical energy, in a process called electrolysis; the Greek word lysis means to break up. The result is that the chemical energy is increased. Important examples of electrolysis are the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen, and bauxite into aluminum and other chemicals.
The other name of voltaic cell is galvanic cell

The voltaic cell
In a voltaic cell, the anode is the negative electrode.
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
A Daniell cell is a specific type of voltaic cell that utilizes a zinc anode, a copper cathode, and a solution of copper sulfate and zinc sulfate to generate electricity through redox reactions. Voltaic cell is a broad term encompassing any electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous redox reactions. Daniell cell is an example of a voltaic cell.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
