D. The trade winds move away from it.

It's a high-pressure zone with sinking air is not true of the Intertropical Convergence Zone. This is because the Intertropical Convergence Zone is low pressure zone with sinking air therefore it is wrong statement.

Intertropical Convergence Zone is the region surrounding Earth close to the Equator where the northeast and southeast trade blows meet. It features heavy precipitation. It is also known as the doldrums. It’s where the trade winds collide. These are all correct statements about the Intertropical Convergence Zone. It is a low pressure zone.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!

a plastic spoon that has a temperature of 78° f is placed into a bowl of soup that has a temperature of 84° f. which of these correctly describes what will happen?

energy as heat moves from the soup to the spoon.
