I hope you're not too embarassed to ask questions.... The only silly question is the one not asked, IMHO.

Common terms are:

microgram: 1/1,000,000 of a gram, symbolized as µg, or mcg
miligram: 1/1,000 of a gram, mg
kilogram: 1,000 grams, kg

There are approximately 454 grams in a pound, and about 28 grams in an ounce.

If you ever have a problem converting units from one format to another, just go to Google (http://www.google.com), and in the very same search window you would use to surf the net, enter in your plain-language query....

e.g. grams in 3.5 ounces

It will give you the answer. It will also do other sorts of calculations.
