Solution

In a galvanic cell, the movement of electrons in the external circuit is from anode to cathode.

Explanation:

The anode is where oxidation occurs (loss of electrons), so electrons are released. These electrons flow through the external wire to the cathode, where reduction (gain of electrons) takes place.
