Centriole is a non-membrane bound organelle which helps in cell division. It is composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. Fimbria is a special structure of bacteria. It is small bristle like fibres sprouting out of the cell and help bacterias to attach with rocks in stream and also to host tissue.
Endomembrane system includes those organelles (like ER, golgi body, lysosome, vacuole) whose functions are coordinated. Mitochondria are a double membrane cell organelle which divide by fission and site of aerobic respiration.
