Solution

A secondary cell can be used again and again by recharging because its electrochemical reaction is reversible. An electrochemical reaction is a chemical reaction which take place inside the secondary cell.

A secondary cell is a type of cell which can be recharged (i.e storage battery) by passing current through it in the opposite direction once the cell is discharged. Example: nickel-cadmium storage cell.
