its simpler if you look at it in the atomic level. resistance is inherently a translation to the inability of an an atom to emit charge(more positive), when you put a source in a circuit, it creates a field which influences the conductors atoms. the electrons are moved in the circuit by being “pushed” by this field(aka your source), the electrons then flow from atom to atom, conductors are called such because these materials are made up pf atoms with much more free electrons that can “move”, now, the “direction” of where the electricity or electron flows depends on the electric field(your source), since opposite charges attract, electrons flow to the region where it is more positive, atoms that are receptors or those that have a “slot” for these electrons that flow producing electricity. essentially, electrons dont really know where they go, instead, they just flow according to the electric field, in this case, the battery from the positive to the negative terminal.
its much more complicated but i hope i explained this to you in a very simple way
