Both STS and MCAS are present in B737 MAX. STS is for speed stability of the aircraft as the Center of Pressure moves as aircraft speed increases. This moves the stab for an aircraft Nose Up direction.This operates on every flight as aircraft accelerates.
MCAS operates only if the AoA of aircraft is sensed as high and this moves the Stab for aircraft Nose down trim.
