What they have in common: They are both part of the "endomembrane system" and they are made up of phosholipid bilayer membrane. How they differ: The Endoplasmic Reticulum is bound with ribosmes, but the golgi body is not.

The Golgi Body was discovered by 19th century Italian Scientist Camillo Golgi. The Golgi Body is one of the most unusually shaped organelles. It is shaped like a stack of pancakes.

The Golgi Apparatus is a membrane-bound structure that with a single membrane. It is actually a stack of membrane-bound vesicles that are important in packaging marcomolecules for transport elsewhere in the cell.

The Golgi Body is an organelle that is found in most eukaryote cells and it processes many proteins.
