Broadly, the steps would be:In step 3, "converts" is essentially metabolism, the three main functions of which are: the conversion of the energy in food to energy available to run cellular processes; the conversion of food to building blocks of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of metabolic wastes.
1. Self-replicating polymer - environment supplies monomers
2. Non-autonomous protocell - environment supplies monomers, lipids, etc, which are used directly by the cell
3. Autonomous protocell - environment supplies food which the cell converts into monomers, lipids, etc
I'm referring to reaching step 3.
