VERY quick biology question?

Question

I am doing a lab for Biology where I am testing the effect of wood ash on plant growth. In my lab write-up, what unit of measurement would be appropriate to measure the wood ash to use in the experiment?

I know mL and L is for liquids, but this is dry. Remember, it's a scientific unit of measurement.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Grams (g) are the usual weight (mass) measure or kilograms (kg)  if you are doing larger quantities or milligrams for very small amouts (mg).

Answer 2

You will use the balance to find the mass of the wood ash in grams.
