Importance of electrolytes?..

[Abigail Urbina 1K]

Can someone explain to me what an electrolyte is and when exactly we would need it in our cell? What is the significance?

An electrolyte is basically a solution with ions (that is, a salt in its aqueous state). While electrons conduct electricity in the circuit, the ions in the electrolyte conduct electricity in solution and allow a complete circuit, making them integral to any cell.
