Explanation:

The lipstick from the crime would be crushed and dissolved in an appropriate liquid solvent. The lipstick would then be placed in one of the ink spots on the starting / base line of the paper. Another spot would be created for the lipstick with which it is being compared with.

The paper chromatogram would then be placed vertically on a solvent that acts as the mobile phase. After some time, when the solvent reaches the solvent front  of the paper chromatography, by capillary action, the chromatogram can be removed and left to dry.

Bands will have appeared on the chromatography paper formed from the different components of the lipstick. The bands of the lipstick from the crime scene and that with which it is being compared to are observed. If the bands are all aligned, horizontally, then this means it is a complete match. The lipstick must have been the same used at the crime scene.

Answer:

ATP and NADPH are used to energy for the production of the Calvin cycle. Once their energy is released, they revert back to ADP and NADP+ and can be reused again.

Explanation:

ATP and NADPH are energy carriers that can be used to power chemical reactions. Once they have energized cellular processes, they become their 'low energy' form of ADP and NADP+. Later, they can reform ATP and NADPH to power more reactions
