A metabolic inhibitor that specifically binds to and blocks the cis face of the Golgi apparatus is introduced to an actively growing animal cell. Which immediate cellular outcome will occur?
- A. The cell surface membrane ruptures due to sudden failure of osmotic regulation.
- B. Secretory vesicles fuse continuously with the cell surface membrane without modification.
