galvanic cell
electrolytic cell
inert electrode

Respuesta :

PBCHEM
Correct answer: Galvanic cell

Reason:
Following are the differences between Galvanic cell and electrolytic cell:
1. Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy , on other hand electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy.
2. In galvanic cell, 
redox reaction is spontaneous and is responsible for the production of electrical energy. in electrolytic cell, the redox reaction is not spontaneous and electrical energy has to be supplied to initiate the reaction.

Thus, galvanic cell 
refers to an electrochemical cell that produces an electric current
