An electrolytic cell requires an external power source to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction, while a galvanic cell generates electricity from a spontaneous chemical reaction. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a galvanic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive.
In ELECTROLYTIC CELL,electric current is used to derive a non-spontaneous redox reaction.Down`s cell and nelson cell are electrolytic cell.
In GALVANIC CELL,electric current is produced as a result of spontaneous redox reaction.Daniel cell and fuel cell r galvanic or voltaic cell.

A galvanic cell is made up of two half cells connected together, and converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Chemical reactions within the galvanic cell are spontaneous and bring forth electrical energy. The anode is negative and the cathode is the positive electrode. An electrolytic cell's electrodes are contained together, and the cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy. Electrical energy must first be supplied to cause a non-spontaneous reaction. The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.
A Galvanic cell transforms the energy into electrical energy, whereas an electrolytic cell transforms the energy into chemical energy. The electron moves from anode to cathode in a galvanic cell, and in contrast, the electron enters through the cathode and comes out through the anode in an electrolytic cell.
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 redox reaction is reserved
In an electrolytic cell, electrical energy is used to drive a non-spontaneous reaction, causing a chemical change. In contrast, a galvanic cell generates electrical energy from a spontaneous chemical reaction. Electrolytic cells are often used in processes like electrolysis, while galvanic cells are used in batteries.
In an electrolytic cell
In an electrolytic cell, an external power source is needed to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction, while in a voltaic cell, the redox reaction is spontaneous and generates electric energy. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a voltaic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive.
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
