### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding Electrolysis**: Electrolysis is a process that uses electric current to drive a chemical reaction, typically to separate elements from their compounds. 2. **Identifying the Cell**: In electrolysis, a specific type of cell is used to facilitate this process. This cell contains two electrodes: an anode and a cathode. 3. **Function of Electrodes**: The anode is where oxidation occurs, and the cathode is where reduction takes place. This means that during electrolysis, the anode loses electrons (oxidation) while the cathode gains electrons (reduction). ...
