What are the similarities between Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum?

Question

Accepted Answer

Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum are two essential cell organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They form two important components of the endomembrane system of the cell. While they are distinctly different from one another, there are several similarities between these two organelles.

Both are vital cell organelles
Both are involved in the formation of the cell’s endomembrane system
Both are present only in eukaryotic cells
Both are membrane-bound
Both contain a network of flattened, fluid-filled sacs called cisternae, which are membrane-enclosed
Both play roles in protein maturation
Both are capable of forming transport vesicles
Lipid metabolism occurs in Golgi apparatus and smooth ER
