Most end in -ase. Examples are carboxypeptidase and hydrolases.
There are many effects that end products can have on enzymes. The exact effects depend on the end products and the enzymes tested.
Rubisco, or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, is an enzyme involved in carbon fixation during photosynthesis. While many enzymes end in '-ase' to indicate that they are enzymes, rubisco derives its name from its function, which involves carboxylation and oxygenation reactions, rather than its enzymatic activity.

No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
Enzymes that break down proteins are called a protease. There are many different enzymes that break down many different polypeptides. Usually they will end in the suffix "-in".

but all catalysts aren't enzymes...
no, enzymes are very specific with respect to stereo-chemistry and usually is active only to one enantiomer
Enzymes are biological catalysts. They do accelerate reactions, like the splitting of the backbone which connects amino acids in a protein, but come out unchanged in the end. In general, all enzymes are proteins (or slightly modified proteins). But there have now also been examples where RNA can act as biological catalysts, although they usually are referred to as ribozymes (ribonucleic acid + enzyme)

An enzyme that usually ends in the suffix "-ase" is called an enzyme.
Why heating enzymes usually produces a faster rate of reaction?
The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
no
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. They are usually named from the reaction that they catalyze.
