Outer monolayer originally faced the exterior of the rough ER and Golgi, where the enzymes involved in protein hydrolysis are located. C. Outer monolayer originally faced the interior of the rough ER and Golgi, where the enzymes involved in glycosylation are located. D. Outer monolayer originally faced the exterior of the rough ER and Golgi, where the enzymes involved in glycosylation are located.

Explanation / Answer

Outer monolayer originally faced the interior of the rough ER and Golgi, where the enzymes involved in glycosylation are located.
