mcg is a disreputable unit of measure. It means microgram - though deciphering the letters may not give you that. ugis a better abbreviation, with less chance of misunderstanding.
But to the question - it all depends upon the concentration of the insulin in the solution. For cc (a.k.a. ml) is a unit of volume.

mcg is an abbreviation of microgram, so 1 mg = 1000 microgram = 1000 mcg.
1000 mcg = 1 mg so 5000 mcg = 5000/1000 = 5 mg. Simple!
1000 mcg = 1 mg so 10000 mcg = 10000/1000 = 10 mg. Simple!
1 mg = 1000 mcg so 0.0015 mg = 1.5 mcg
1000 mcg / 100 mg = 1 mg/ 100 mg = 0.011000 mcg / 100 mg = 1 mg/ 100 mg = 0.011000 mcg / 100 mg = 1 mg/ 100 mg = 0.011000 mcg / 100 mg = 1 mg/ 100 mg = 0.01
1 cc=100 units of Insulin so, 1 unit=0.01 cc Insulin
There are 100 units in a CC. 1 CC = 1 mL So, 5 units is 5/100 (1/20, .05) of a CC.
It depends on the type of insulin being used: For 100U insulin, 1 unit = 1/100 or 0.01 cc. For 40U insulin, 1 unit = 1/40 or 0.025 cc.
The standard insulin syringe is a total of 1 ml ( 1 cc), but if you are not sure ask someone who can tell you. Too much insulin can be fatal.
No, they're completely different units. 1 cc (cubic centimeter) = 1 cm^3 (cubic centimeter) (these are units of volume) 1 mcg (microgram) = 0.001 mg (milligram) (these are units of mass) Here's a way to compare them: 1 cc of water has a mass of about 1 gram, or 1000000 micrograms.
1000 mcg = 1 mg Thus 1 mcg = 0.001 mg
1 microgram (mcg) is 1/1000mg or 0.001mg
2.4 mcg = 0.0024 mg Each 1 mcg = 1/1000 of a mg
1 mg is equal to 1000 mcg
1000 mcg equals 1 mg.
1 mg = 1000 mcg, so 60 mg = 60000 mcg
0.5ml = 1/2cc =50 units in an insulin syringe.
