Answer:
The cells 1 and 2 have a less surface area contacting the environment per its volume unit which in turn makes them loose energy lower to the environment and is metabolically less active.
Explanation:
Solution
Since cells 1 and 2 have less surface area contacting the environment per unit volume which makes them to loose lower energy to the environment and are therefore less active metabolically.
Thus they are better suited for a long term storage of energy having molecules than cells 4 and 5.
