In convection cells, the correct description is:

**Hot air rises because it is less dense and cold air sinks because it is more dense.**

When air is heated, it expands, which decreases its density, allowing it to rise. Conversely, cooler air is denser, causing it to sink. This process creates convection currents that facilitate the circulation of air.
