A protein that is destined to reach the plasma membrane is making its way through the golgi. at that moment, a drug was added to cells, blocking trafficking at the trans face of the golgi. as a result, what would happen to the protein? the protein would be stuck in the golgi. the protein would continue on to the cell surface. the protein would return to the er via the cis face of the golgi. the protein would exit the golgi, but instead be targeted to the cytoplasm.

The protein would be stuck in the Golgi apparatus because proteins leave through the trans face of the golgi and if it were blocked there would be no pathway for it to leave.
