Question

Difference between cathode and anode ​

Answer 1

However, in an electrolytic cell, theanode is taken to be positive while thecathode is now negative. However, the reaction is still similar, whereby electrons from the anode flow to the positive terminal of the battery, and electrons from the battery flow to thecathode

Answer 2

Anode is the electrode in which current flows INTO from the outside, and the cathode is the electrode that it flows FROM (to the outside). Electrons, of course, flow the opposite way. In electrochemistry, the anode is where oxidation occurs and cathode is where reduction occurs ("an ox red cat").
