Enzymes are not destroyed during chemical reactions.
They are.
coenzymes
Enzymes increase the rate of the chemical reactions carried out during metabolism.
yes, enzymes are reusable.
I wouldn't think about it as things being destroyed. Chemical bonds are being modified during chemical reactions, so you may be breaking down a molecule into other molecules, or adding a piece on to a molecule, but you aren't really destroying or gaining anything new, just new forms. Energy can be either given off or "consumed" during a reaction.

Enzymes are proteins that are able to catalyze (i.e accelerate) biochemical reactions. During the course of a reaction, the enzyme is able to convert a substrate to a product but the enzyme does not get consumed in the reaction.
Chemical reactions involve the combination, separation, or rearrangement of atoms. During those processes atoms are not subdivided, created, or destroyed.
Enzymes are organic molecules that are highly specific catylists for biological chemical reactions. Enzymes are not permanently changed by the reactions that they catalyze, although the may transiently change shape a little during the reaction. At the end of the reaction, the enzyme is the same shape that it was at the beginning.
A single chemical that breaks down into other substances during chemical reactions is "decomposing".
During chemical reactions bonds are broken.
