fermenation
Fermentation is sometimes known as anaerobic respiration - because it usually occurs in the absence of oxygen. However, fermentation is the extraction of energy by oxidation of organic compounds. It does not necessarily have to occur in anaerobic conditions.
Aerobic Reaction. Respiration is an example of aerobic reaction, and is common to living organisms such as humans and plants. Anaerobic respiration can be found in certain types of bacteria.
In both, ATP is produced. In Fermentation, each turn of the cycle produces 2 ATP, and in Aerobic Cellular Respiration, each turn of the cycle produces 38 ATP. You can see which one works better...the huge difference in the number of ATP produced.
Anaerobiosis is the oxidation of molecules in the absence of oxygen to produce energy. Anaerobic respiration is more efficient than fermentation, a bit less that aerobic respiration.
If NAD+ is not regenerated, the oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-P will cease and glycolysis will stop.
Basically Fermentation is an Anaerobic respiration (i.e. Oxidation of energy compounds in the absence of oxygen).That means the answer to your question is 'oxygen'.
There is no opposite or reverse reaction, but fermentation is an anaerobic process, one not requiring oxygen. The aerobic equivalent would be respiration (oxidation).

for cellular respiration a process of oxidation takes place at some stage (aerobic) while in fermentation it is in abscence of oxygen(anaerobic)
Living organisms break down organic matter. The matter can be animal or plant in origin even though it always will be carbon-based. The breakdown may be through fermentation in anaerobic decomposition or oxidation through aerobic decomposition, or respectively without or with the presence of oxygen.
Oxidization occurs when oxygen is present and two or more substances interact, and one losses an electron. In anaerobic situations (when oxygen is not present) fermentation occurs. Fermentation derives energy (ATP) from compounds that are being oxidized.

Cellular respiration is more efficient than fermentation. Cellular respiration produces approximately 36-38 ATP molecules, while fermentation produces only 2 ATP, which is a significant loss in usable energy.
fermentation is used to convert sugar into alcohols...deriving energy from oxidation of organic compounds
