I have a question

A node is needed to execute a transaction, but in which node are these wallets connected to execute a transaction?

all wallets are tied to a node? or can that specific wallet be connected to a chosen node or a public node?

for example, daedalus downloads a whole node, so I might guess that the transaction is running on the same daedalus node, but yoroi does not install any node on the user's pc, so where is that transaction sent to be validated?
