==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A [[nanogram]] (ng) is a [[unit]] of [[mass]] which is 1000,000,000,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]] for [[mass]], the [[kilogram]].
===About Nanogram===
: A [[nanogram]] is shortened to '''ng''' with the a lower case n with a lower case g.
: [[Nano]] refers to one trillionth as there are one million [[nanogram]]s in a [[gram]].
: A [[nanogram]] is 10<sup>-12</sup> [[kilogram]]s.
: [[Nanogram]]s are usually used to describe doses of [[drug]]s.
