For the galvanic cell represented as Zn(s)Zn(s) | Zn2+(1.0 M)Zn^{2+}(1.0\,\text{M}) || Cu2+(1.0 M)Cu^{2+}(1.0\,\text{M}) | Cu(s)Cu(s), identify (a) the metal that serves as the anode, (b) the metal that serves as the cathode, and (c) the direction of electron flow in the external circuit (from which metal to which).
