NO.
A microgram is a measure of weight and a microlitre is a measure of volume. Every liquid has its own density (weight per volume). One litre of water is equal to one kilogram, or one mL water weighs 1 gram. Therefore, one mg water is one ul in volume.

Or vice versa. 1 ul = 1ug is not the same....There is no direct conversion for others.
If it is a conversion of concentration regarding absorbance (spectrophotometer), there should be other information provided to convert them. For example; formula of concentration = mass/volume. They might have provided the concentration of the substance and the volume which you currently have in ul (change to ml before applying into the formula). One can get the mass in gram and convert them as needed unit.
Best to check with lecturer, as it depends on the type of question one is doing.

No, micrograms (μg) and microliters (μL) are different units used to measure different things. Micrograms measure mass, while microliters measure volume. They cannot be directly converted into each other.
None.
A microgram is a measure of mass whereas a microlitre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and it makes no sense at all to try to convert from one to the other.
As a simple mental exercise, think of a microlitre of air and a microlitre of lead. The two will have very different masses.
To convert milligrams (mg) to micrograms (ug), you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 micrograms in a milligram. To convert milliliters (mL) to microliters (uL), you also multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 microliters in a milliliter. So, to convert 40 mg/mL to ug/uL, you would multiply by 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000. This means 40 mg/mL is equal to 40,000 ug/uL.
The abbreviation "ul" typically stands for "microliter," which is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter.
One ul (microliter) is equal to one millionth of a liter, or 0.000001 liters. It is commonly used in lab settings for measuring small volumes of liquids.
In the metric system, the unit microliter (uL) is commonly used to measure volume. One microliter is equal to one millionth of a liter. Therefore, the ratio of microliters to liters is 1:1,000,000.
There are 1000 microlitres in a millilitre. To convert here, you multiply by 1000. 0.0036 ml x 1000 is 3.6 microlitres.
