They are more metabolically acitve then larger cells because they have a smaller surface area to volume ratio then the larger cells which means the enzymes and proteins can move around faster and this makes the cell metabolically active.

Cells in different tissues have different shapes and sizes because they are specialized to perform specific functions. For example, muscle cells are elongated to generate force and movement, while red blood cells are small and rounded to efficiently transport oxygen. The shape and size of cells are dictated by their specific roles and requirements within the tissue they belong to.
