Answer

Electrochemical cell	Electrolytic cell
(1) It is a device to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.	(1) It is a device to convert electrical energy into chemical energy.
(2) It is based upon the redox reaction which is spontaneous.	(2) The redox reaction is non-spontaneous and takes place only when electric energy is supplied.
(3) To set up this cell, a salt bridge or porous pot is used.	(3) No salt bridge is used in this case.
