The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 12H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O

This could be simplified to (and is usually seen as): 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

From the equations above, it could be seen that sunlight is not a reactant in photosynthesis. Reactants are substances that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction. Sunlight does not; hence sunlight is not a reactant in photosynthesis.

What gaseous substance that is a reactant of respiration is a product of photosynthesis?

That would be oxygen. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H20 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O O2 is oxygen, H2O is water, CO2 is carbon dioxide
