Claim Text:
1. A fuel cell comprising: a gas diffusion layer; a membrane electrode assembly comprised of an electrolyte membrane and an anode catalyst over which the gas diffusion layer is disposed; and a supply member having protruding portions each provided with an anode fluid flow path having an opening on a discharge side thereof for supplying an anode fluid toward the membrane electrode assembly, the protruding portions and the gas diffusion layer being arranged with a space therebetween so that the protruding portions do not contact, either directly or indirectly, the gas diffusion layer, the protruding portions being provided on a surface of the supply member facing the gas diffusion layer so as to protrude toward the member electrode assembly and form spaces for storing a gas pushed by the supply of the anode fluid toward the membrane electrode assembly, each of the spaces being formed between two adjacent ones of the protruding portions.
