Learn about Electrochemical Cells on the MCAT, including the difference between galvanic (voltaic) and electrolytic cells, and key terms like anode and cathode, oxidation and reduction, cell potential, energy transfer, redox reactions, and spontaneous vs non-spontaneous reactions. We also cover Gibb's Free Energy, the Nernst Equation, and Ohm's Law.
