Centroiles are membrane bound organelles and are only found in eukaryotes - plus they play a role in mitosis - a place for mitotic spindles to attach. Prokaryotes replicate through binary fission so they don't have a need for them.

But I thought centrioles are not membrane bound?

I am sure that they are found in eukaryotes only.

They are not membrane bound, but they are only found in eukaryotes.

Centrioles are not found in prokaryotes.

Centrioles themselves are not membrane-bound, but if they are found within a centrosome then this entire structure can be membrane bound.

Thank you, so centrosome is not always a membrane bound organelle?
