dry cells don't have liquids inside but they do have some sort of a paste of zinc chloride and ammonium chloride dissolved in water. The positive terminal is usually a carbon rod or graphite rod surrounded by a mixture of manganese dioxide and carbon powder. the negative terminal is the packaging, and is made of zinc.

you should just look it up on wikipedia, and you will save yourself a lot of time...

Do both wet cells and dry cells work the same way?

No- different materials, different functions. Wet cell batteries are USUALLY storage batteries- they are recharged.

The battery in most cars is a wet cell, batteries in most flashlights is a dry cell.
