**Bacteria and Cellular Composition**

**Question:**

A bacterium will be ______________.

**Options:**

1. composed of one giant cell.
2. composed of many cells that are all the same type.
3. composed of a variety of different cell types.
4. composed of a single cell.

**Correct Answer:** 
4. composed of a single cell.

**Explanation:** 

Bacteria are unicellular organisms, meaning they are composed of a single cell. This single cell carries out all of the functions necessary for the bacterium's survival and reproduction. Unlike multicellular organisms, bacteria do not consist of multiple cells or different types of cells within a single organism. Each bacterium is an individual, independent unit capable of performing all the life processes on its own.

**Diagram and Graphs Explanation:** 
In this context, there are no graphs or diagrams provided. However, educational resources might include diagrams showing a single bacterial cell, highlighting its structures like the cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and bacterial DNA to provide visual aid to the explanation.
