Redox reactions can occur in electrolytic cells when an externally applied electrical current drives non-spontaneous redox reactions to proceed. This is a process used in electrolysis, where an electrical current is passed through an electrolyte to induce chemical changes.
In the electrolytic cell, electrons flow from the negative terminal (cathode) to the positive terminal (anode). This flow allows for the oxidation of ions at the anode and the reduction of ions at the cathode, resulting in the desired chemical reactions to occur.

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of chloroplasts.

In a nickel and copper electrolytic cell, nickel would likely be the anode since it typically undergoes oxidation to release electrons into the external circuit. Copper, on the other hand, would be the cathode where reduction reactions occur.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell. This is where cations in the electrolyte solution gain electrons and get reduced, leading to the deposition of a substance onto the cathode.

An electrolytic cell
An electrolytic cell uses an external power source to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Electricity is used to force electrons through the cell, causing a redox reaction to occur at the electrodes. This allows for the production of new chemical compounds or the separation of substances.
