What accounts for the ability of vesicles to fuse with different membrane compartments in the cell?

The phospholipid bilayer has a fluid makeup, so this allows vesicles to go from one part of the cell to another and fuse with those areas. The vesicles then go into these areas and deposit the needed substances or pick up waste products from these areas in order to remove them from the cell.
