$1.$ Anode reaction of dry cell.
$2.$ Reduction reaction of dry cell.
(N/A) In a dry cell (Leclanché cell),the reactions are as follows:
$1.$ Anode reaction (Oxidation of zinc):
$Zn(s) \rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq) + 2e^-$
$2.$ Cathode reaction (Reduction of manganese dioxide):
$2MnO_2(s) + 2NH_4^+(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow Mn_2O_3(s) + 2NH_3(g) + H_2O(l)$
