Answer 11

Okay so there is an anode, a cathode and electrolytes in the battery. the anode contains a lot of electrodes (atoms that transfer electrons). A cathode accepts those electrodes to keep balance. The electrolytes separate the cathode and anode from touching
(if they do touch it would cause an explosion because of the imbalance)
