| During tissue regeneration, cells release enzymes that degrade natural biomaterials at specific peptide sequences. |
| As plants do not possess a mechanism to degrade lignins, lignification represents a significant, non-recoverable investment of carbon and energy. |
| Acid hydrolases of the lysosomes degrade the apoproteins and release free fatty acids and cholesterol. |
| In electronic devices, even a negligible instrumental error can totally degrade the system compared to electro-mechanical ones. |
