ABSTRACT The quality of pipe borne water supplied by Imo State Water Corporation has been assessed by analyzing samples of water collected from different locations for their physicochemical parameters and bacteriological quality. The observed values were compared with standard values given by the World Health Organization for potable water .The quality of the analyzed water is found fit for human consumption.

Adenosine Triphosphate Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered by biologists to be the energy currency of life. It is the high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do. It is present in the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm of every cell‚ and essentially all the physiological mechanisms that require energy for operation obtain it directly from the stored ATP. (Guyton) As food in the cells is gradually oxidized‚ the released energy is used to re-form the ATP so
