What is the difference between a galvanic cell and an electrolytic cell? APEX

A. A galvanic cell generates electrical current, and an electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to cause redox reactions to occur.

Explanation:

A galvanic cell produces electrical energy through the conversion of chemical energy whereas the electrolytic cell carries out the conversion of the electrical energy/current supplied to it into chemical energy. The reaction that takes place in the galvanic cell is spontaneous which is responsible for the electrical energy that is produced. The redox reaction in the electrolytic cell is not spontaneous. Electrical energy has to be supplied to it in order to initiate the reaction.
