Answer:

In a voltaic cell, the Anode Loses electrons and is oxidized, while the Cathode Gains electrons and is reduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

The strongest reducing agent which is the Anode is oxidized, the Anode is negative so it loses electrons.

The strongest oxidizing agent is the Cathode, which is positive so it gains.

Also for further confirmation, I got it right on the test.
