Water in adjacent xylem moves into the phloem by the process of osmosis (diffusion of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution until both the solutions are of the same concentration). As osmotic pressure builds the phloem sap will move to areas of lower pressure.

A brief description about lung cancer and how it's formed. Also how are genetics related to this cancer type? Which genes are involved? What are the normal functions of these genes? How are the genes mutated and what is the result on a cellular level? Does this typically occur as somatic mutations or inherited? Is there anything else interesting about the relationship between genes and cancer?
