The primary difference between a battery and a cell is that a battery can be composed of a number of cells. A cell can be a battery. Big flashlights sometimes use "D" cells or "D" batteries as a power source. But a car has a 12 volt battery (that sits at over 13 volts when it's fully charged) and it is composed of 6 individual cells. Generally, a cell delivers a certain voltage that is a function of what chemical reactions are taking place to generate the voltage. To get increased voltage one must add cells in series. The 9-volt batteries like the ones used in smoke detectors have 6 individual cells inside them.

How the parts of a cell interact to produce a current?

In a electrochemical cell or a battery there are two electrodes and an electrolyte. Chemical reaction occurs between the electrodes and the electrolyte which causes one of the electrodes to be positively charged and the next one to be negatively charged. The differences between the two electrodes creates voltage. When the battery is now connected to a circuit it makes a current.
