What is an atomic mass unit (u)?

An atomic mass unit (symbol u) is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a neutral carbon‑12 atom and is used for measuring atomic and molecular masses.

What does a megagram (Mg) represent?

A megagram (symbol Mg) is a metric mass unit equal to one million grams or one thousand kilograms, equivalent to a metric tonne.
