i think the only differences are:

1)Greenhouses are smaller, a domestic scale
2)Polytunnels are used for crops etc planted in the ground, it is a cover to protect delicate plants such as strawberries so they fruit for longer.
3)Greenhouses are slightly warmer as they are encased on all sides and can have heaters in the to make sure you cacti survive the harsh winter.

I think, dont hold me to this.
