Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
A galvanic cell can become an electrolytic cell by applying an external voltage that is of opposite polarity to the cell's spontaneous voltage. This external voltage can overcome the natural tendency of the cell to generate electricity and drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction in the reverse direction, converting it into an electrolytic cell.

The significance of anode polarity in electrochemistry is that it determines the direction of electron flow in a galvanic cell or electrolytic cell. The anode is where oxidation occurs, and it is positively charged in a galvanic cell and negatively charged in an electrolytic cell. This polarity affects the overall reaction and the flow of ions in the cell.
