Solution

The two main characteristics of a cell

  • Plant cell can perform photosynthesis for preparing its own food
  • All plant and animal cells can perform cellular respiration in which glucose or food materials get oxidized and release energy.

These two important characteristics make a cell self sufficient and self dependent. As both the necessities like food and energy were available inside itself thus it could have been possible for the single cell to evolve independently.
