A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing
A
enzyme
B
RNA
C
element
D
lipid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An enzyme is a biological catalyst and is almost always a protein. It speeds up the rate of a specific chemical reaction in the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -An enzyme is a protein that speeds up a biochemical reaction. It is a biological catalyst. An enzyme generally works by reducing the amount of activation energy needed to start the reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes-catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells. Although RNAs are capable of catalyzing some reactions, most biological reactions are catalyzed by proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed biochemical reactions by facilitating the molecular rearrangements that support cell function.
