History/origin: The microgram is derived from the gram, which was defined during the French Revolution as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at the temperature of melting ice. The prefix 'micro-' indicates one millionth.

Current use: Micrograms are commonly used to measure very small amounts of substances, such as vitamins, medications, and pollutants. They are frequently used in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and environmental science.

Gram

Definition: A gram (symbol: g) is a unit of mass in the metric system. It was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water at the temperature of maximum density.

History/origin: The gram is the base unit of mass in the metric system, which was established in France in the late 18th century. It was intended to be a universal and rational system of measurement.

Current use: Grams are widely used for measuring the mass of food items, ingredients, and small objects. It's a standard unit in cooking, chemistry, and various industries.
