About Femtogram (fg)
Definition
The femtogram is a unit of mass equal to 10⁻¹⁵ grams or 10⁻¹⁸ kilograms — one quadrillionth of a gram.
Mathematical Relationship
1 fg = 10⁻¹⁵ g = 10⁻¹⁸ kg = 1,000 ag.
Conversion Formula
To convert fg to kg: multiply by 10⁻¹⁸. To convert fg to pg: divide by 1,000.
Practical Applications
Expressing the mass of individual bacterial cells (~100 fg for E. coli) and subcellular components.
Interesting Facts
A single E. coli bacterium has a mass of about 600–700 fg. A single mitochondrion is roughly 1 fg.
Common Mistakes
Mixing up fg (femtogram) with fm (femtometer) — one is mass, the other is length.
Educational Tips
A bacterium weighs ~500 fg — this gives you a tangible anchor for the femtogram scale.
