Answer is: the anode.

An electrochemical cell (galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.

In galvanic cell specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).

Oxidation on zinc anode: Zn (s) → Zn²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻.
