The characteristic that primarily separates animals and plants is the **cell wall**.
Plants have a rigid cell wall made primarily of cellulose, which provides structural support and distinguishes them from animal cells, which do not have a cell wall. The other options listed (hormones, mitochondria, and cellular respiration) are present in both animals and plants, although there may be differences in their functions or types.
