Which process occurs at the anode in an electrochemical cell?
(1) the loss of protons
(2) the loss of electrons
(3) the gain of protons
(4) the gain of electrons

The process that occurs at the anode in an electrochemical cell is the loss of electrons. The answer is number 2. Oxidation occurs as electrons are lost at the anode at one of the electrodes in both an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell.

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
