Consider the cell Zn | Zn²+ || Cu²+ || Cu?+ | Cu . What is the direction of electron flow and negative ion flow in the cell? Electrons flow from anode to cathode through the wire and negative ions flow from cathode to anode through the porous cup. Electrons flow from cathode to anode through the wire and negative ions flow from anode to cathode through the porous cup. Electrons flow from cathode to anode through the porous cup and negative ions flow from anode to cathode through the wire. Electrons flow from anode to cathode through the porous cup and negative ions flow from cathode to anode through the wire.
