Answer:

Oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Fermentation is a reaction that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells use to obtain energy from food when oxygen levels are low. Because no oxygen is used, fermentation makes less ATP than cellular respiration does. Fermentation takes place in a cell's cytoplasm, not in mitochondria.
