Forgot to specify units of measurement

For the very last question, I only wrote down the number, and i forgot to write down grams or whatever it was
if my answer was right, would I lose a mark for not specifying the unit of measurement?

If the question was like:

..... the ball had acceleration a m/s^2. Find a.



Then no you shouldn't lose a mark.

However, if it just asked you to find the acceleration or weight, then yeah you might lose a mark.

The last question asked for the amount of a substance that had flowed out of a bowl (something like that)

So will I be safe?
