In a galvanic cell, the anode is the:

Answer: Negative electrode.

  • A Positive electrode
  • B Negative electrode
  • C Where reduction occurs
  • D Where oxygen forms

Correct answer: B. Negative electrode

Explanation: In a galvanic cell, the anode is negative and undergoes oxidation (loss of electrons).
