Hey there!
The differences are:
Tendon: It is located at the end of a muscle attach to muscle to bone.They are found throughout the body, from head till toe.The Achilles Bone is the largest tendon in the human body.It attaches the calf muscle to the heel bone.The rotator cuff tendons help your shoulder to rotate forward and backward.
Ligament: They appear as crisscross bands that attach bone to bone and help stabilize the joints. For example, the anterior crucial ligament(ACL) attaches the thigh bone to the shinbone, stabilizing the the knee joint.
Hope it helps u!!!

LIGAMENT...
example of a ligament is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)...
1)Ligament is a fibrous connective tissues which attaches bone to bone...
2)it helps them to hold structure together and keep them stable......
3)~~~~They are elastic
*4)****Connect ends of the bones only at joints
5)Usually many ligaments per joints
6)Proteoglycan content is more than tendons
7)Ligaments are yellow in colour
8)The fibroblasts of ligaments are scattered
9)Blood supply comparatively poor
10)they are stronger than tendons.
#######Both are dense-granular connective tissues.
#####Both composed of living cells.
ñ##### Both contain plenty of collagens.
TENDONS..
example of a tendon is the Achilles tendon...
1)***Tendons are also fibrous connective tissue which connects/attaches muscle to bone
2)~~~~Tendons are cord-like, strong, inelastic structures
3)Usually only one tendon per muscle
4)Collagen content is more than ligaments
5)Proteoglycan content is less than ligaments
6)Tendons are white in colour
7)The fibroblasts of tendons lie in continuous raw
8)Have heavy blood supply
9)Connect ends of the muscles to any place of the bone
10)they are comparatively weaker than tendon
***** The strength of tendons in resisting pulls is said to be ‘equal to at least half that of the bones******
