Detailed explanation-1: -A large surface area to volume ratio is more desirable. In multicellular organisms some cells need to be large because of the functions they perform (i.e. nerve cells, muscle cells). What shape would be most desirable for these larger cells? A long cylindrical shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -The smaller a cell, the larger its surface-to-volume ratio. As a cell grows larger, the volume increases faster than the surface area. Small cells are more efficient at exchanging materials than large cells because they have more surface area to work with in relation to their size.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hexagonal cell shape is perfect over square or triangular cell shapes in cellular architecture because it cover an entire area without overlapping i.e. they can cover the entire geographical region without any gaps.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prismatic cells are mainly used in energy storage systems and electric vehicles.
