A substance that lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction is a catalyst.
The energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas is called heat of vaporization.
This substance is called a catalyst.
Sunlight is needed by plants to create photosynthesis. This is how the plants collect and store energy in order to thrive and grow, The sunlight is converted to energy that the plant needs.
It is not clear what you mean by 'trap'. It contains chemical energy which can be released by burning, giving 55.5 MJ per kg. You may however be referring to the ability of the substance to absorb heat, i.e. its heat capacity. This is the amount of energy absorbed when the temperature of the substance increases by 1 degree Kelvin. This is 2.087 kJ/kgK at 200 K. (It varies a little with temperature.)

Chlorophyll is the substance responsible for trapping light energy in plants through the process of photosynthesis, where it converts this energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
The equation to calculate the amount of energy needed to change state is: Q = m * L, where Q is the energy needed, m is the mass of the substance, and L is the specific latent heat of the substance.
This substance is a catalyst.

One substance that the body stores energy as is glycogen, which is a complex carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscles. When needed, glycogen can be broken down into glucose for energy.
The amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance is most influenced by its specific heat capacity, which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of the substance by 1 degree Celsius. Substances with higher specific heat capacities require more energy to change temperature compared to those with lower specific heat capacities. Additionally, the mass of the substance being heated also plays a role in determining the amount of energy needed.
