There are several types of non-protein catalysts, which are also called enzymes. The biggest group are RNA ribozymes, along with some lipid-modified proteins.
Proteins
No, this is not always true. Almost all enzymes are made of protein, but now it has been dixcovered that certain types of RNA can function as enzymes also (spliceosomes are an organelle that use enzymatic RNA).
Enzymes
Almost all enzymes are proteins, often decorated with carbohydrate side chains and/or enclosing a metallic ion.A few enzymes are short RNAs.
Yes, almost all work on a single substrate.
but all catalysts aren't enzymes...
Almost all enzymes are proteins; there are only a few exceptions to this rule, including certain kinds of RNA. Enzymes are necessary for important biological processes necessary for life, including digestion.

Enzymes are a special kind of bio molecules called proteins that catalyse rate of reactions.

Sort of Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical reations, they convert molecues from substrates ( a substrate is a molecue upon which an enzyme atc acts ) to products(a product is something "manufactured" by an enzyme from its substrate)Definition in link below.
Yes, almost all work on a single substrate.

Enzymes are not destroyed during chemical reactions.
No. All enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes. Muscle tissue is made of protein but it is not made of enzymes.
Enzymes are used in almost every biological reaction that takes place in an organism to expedite the process.
