What are Microgram and Picogram

Definition of Microgram

A microgram is a unit of mass equal to one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a gram or one thousandth (1/1,000) of a milligram. Its symbol is 'µg'. In the metric system, 'micro-' is the prefix for 10^-6. Micrograms are widely used in medical, nutritional, and scientific fields to measure tiny quantities of substances.

Definition of Picogram

A picogram is a unit of mass equal to one trillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000) of a gram. The symbol for picogram is 'pg'. This unit is part of the metric system, where 'pico-' denotes a factor of 10^-12. Picograms are used in fields like chemistry and biology to measure extremely small amounts of a substance, such as DNA or pharmaceutical ingredients.
