The weight of a cell membrane varies significantly depending on the type of cell and its size. However, on a per-cell basis, the lipid bilayer of a typical cell membrane is estimated to weigh only a few picograms (10^-12 grams). For larger multicellular organisms, the total weight of all cell membranes combined can be substantial, but individual membranes are lightweight.
