| 0:18.7 | right in the middle of the week right now so hope you've been enjoying the |
| 0:21.3 | week so far today we are talking about the electrical gradient, |
| 0:25.7 | which I'm gonna let LB define for us |

| 1:21.3 | to the other side and it's in the process |
| 1:24.8 | transports materials and things like that. Okay got it yeah so very very much a |
| 1:30.5 | foundational sort of principle of just how this universe works. |
| 1:33.7 | Yep. Yep. And then it's application to gardening so knowing that what can we take |
