Hemolytic uremic syndrome. This rare disorder causes a sharp drop in platelets, destruction of red blood cells and impairment of kidney function. Sometimes it can occur in association with a bacterial Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection, such as may be acquired from eating raw or undercooked meat.
Atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units, or amu. Atomic mass units were taken from one proton or neutron of carbon-12, which each weigh 1 amu. Carbon-12 weighs exactly 12 amu. On the periodic table , you can see that carbon (C) has a number underneath it that is very close to 12. This is called the atomic mass.
In science, work and energy are commonly measured in joules. One joule is the amount of energy it takes to lift an object that weighs one Newton a one meter distance. A Newton is the metric unit for weight and is comparable to the weight of a stick of butter.
