The difference between the cisternae and the cristae:
1. The cisternae is a flattened membrane disk which the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum is made up of. On the other hand a Cristae is a fold in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.
2. A Golgi stack may constitute between 3 to 20 cisternae but majority only contain around six. The four class of Golgi include trans, trans-Golgi network, cis and medial. A cristae gives the inner membrane of the mitochondrion membrane its signature wrinkled shape, whic is meant to provide a large amount of surface area for the chemical reactions to take place.
3. Every cisternae class includes different enzymes which are active within it. On the other hand the cristae contains proteins which include ATP synthase and a range of cytochromes.

Cisternae are flat sac-like structures present in some organelles of eukaryotic cells.
Examples of such type of organelles are Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi complex.
In general, cisternae are structures where fluid like substances are stored.
Cristae in general is ridge or crest.
In the inner membrane of mitochondria, foldings are there which form ridges and crests which are called cristae.
On this inner membrane, ETS occurs.
