Yes, enzymes can be reused over and over again for catalyzing chemical reactions because they are not consumed during the reaction, so they will remain in solution to quicken the reaction again with fresh substrates. Think of an enzyme as a container that forces its substrates to be in closer proximity to each other, which increases the chances of collisions and, in turn, the chances for a reaction to occur faster.
I think it frees itself from the product and is ready to be reused.
yes, enzymes are reusable.
enzymes are not changed when they perform their function. this means that the same enzyme molecule can be used over and over again.
1) An immobilized enzyme is an enzyme that is attached to an inert, insoluble material. This can provide increased resistance to changes in conditions such as pH or temperature. 2) It also allows enzymes to be held in place throughout the reaction, following which they are easily separated from the products and may be used again - a far more efficient process and so is widely used in the enzyme industry to catalyse chemical reactions.
A catalyst is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed under different conditions. It lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, allowing it to happen more quickly or at a lower temperature or pressure. The catalyst itself remains unchanged in the reaction and can be reused multiple times.

yes, enzymes are reusable.
after a substrate and enzyme have bonded and done their chemical reaction, they seperate. thus leaving a free enzyme again. hence another substrate will take its place.

Yes. Enzymes are pretty much known as catalysts, and the definition of a catalyst is "a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction, without being consumed or produced by the reaction." So thus we see the enzyme being active in a reaction but not destroyed. There are exceptions to this, though. If an enzyme is kept in hot, unfavorable temperatures, it will change shape or become "denatured" and may become useless in a very short time.
While the structure of an enzyme can, and often does, change over the course of a reaction, after a reaction has completed, enzymes are returned to their starting state. It is worth noting that certain cofactors (such as ATP or GTP) may also need to be replaced in order for the reaction to procede again.
Enzymes are specialized proteins that facilitate chemical reactions in the body by lowering their activation energy, or the energy required to initiate a reaction. They are never consumed by the reaction themselves; therefore, enzymes can be re-used many times. Enzymes are specific to a particular substrate and usually facilitate the reaction by undergoing a conformational change when encountering the substrate, transforming it into a product or an intermediate.
Catalysts lower the energy needed for a chemical reaction and are unchanged by the reaction. Since they are not changed, they can be reused indefinitely.
Enzymes lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction.

Yes, because they are not changed by the reaction.
