Acids are the ones losing hydrogen atoms, while the base picks up these atoms in a reaction.

By the bronsted definition, acids donate protons or H+, and then bases accept those H+ protons. By the lewis definition, acids accept a lone pair of electrons while a base donates a lone pair of electrons.
