A cup of whole wheat flour weighs 120 g in USDA's data, 5 g less than a cup of all-purpose flour (125 g). When a recipe swaps one flour for the other, go by grams rather than cups.

Where this number comes from

USDA FoodData Central lists 1 cup of “Wheat flour, whole-grain (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)” at 120 g (FDC ID 168893, SR Legacy).

Everything else is worked out from that figure: spoons from 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons, and ounces and pounds from their exact definitions (1 oz = 28.349523125 g, 1 lb = 453.59237 g, NIST).
