There's no actual evidence that quarks are not fundamental particles, so as far as we know there's nothing inside them, they just are. There are a couple of half-baked theories that quarks are actually made of "strings" or "preons" (on the scale from "crackpot" to "fully validated scientific theory", strings are somewhat more "baked" than preons are), but there's no real experimental evidence for it; we're pretty much still at the level of some guy in ancient Greece saying "yeah, dude, everything is made of atoms." Except in ancient Greek, of course.

∙ 12y agoAlthough there are some theories, it is not confirmed that quarks are made up of smaller particles - nor is there any consensus that this is even likely,but scientist predict that there are strings inside. Back in the 1970's, physicists Salam and Pati proposed the first explicit model of
quark substructure. They mapped out a provisional theory in which quarks are composed
of smaller particles they named "preons".

Multiple quarks together make different particles. The two most familiar are probably the proton (made of two up quarks and a down quark), and the neutron (two down quarks and an up quark). There are other particles made up of quarks, or a combination of a quark and anti-quark. See the related links for lists.

What is an anti-down quark?
An anti-up quark is an antiquark which corresponds to the up quark.
Two up quarks and one down quark make up which of the following particles?
Yes, contrast to Proton which is made up of Two up and one down quark.
What are neutral pions made of?
-Down and anti-Down quark, -Up and anti-Up quark or -Strange and anti-Strange quark
What is antiquarks?
The antiparticle of a quark is called as an anti quark. Which has the same mass but other properties are opposite. Example - Their charge. From the family(group) of quark Up has +2/3 whereas anti-up has -2/3. Quark is a matter ( particle ) whereas an anti quark ( antiparticle ) is antimatter
Is down quark heavier than up quark because neutron is heavier than proton?
The two are related, yes, but technically it would be more accurate to say it the other way around: "Neutrons are heavier than protons because down quarks are heavier than up quarks" Neutrons are composed of an up quark and two down quarks (udd). Protons are composed of two up quarks and one down quark (uud), so the difference in mass between a proton and neutron is (roughly) the same as the difference in mass between the neutron's down quark and the proton's matching up quark. Because a down quark is heavier than an up quark, it is also possible for a down quark to decay into an up quark (releasing an electron in the process). This is how beta radiation occurs in atomic nuclei. One of the neutrons' down quarks decays into an up quark, changing that neutron into a proton, and releasing an electron (as radiation), so another way to look at it would be that a down quark is an up quark that has an electron trapped inside it (the mass of the electron, plus the energy required to "trap" it there, is what makes the down quark heavier).
What is an anti-down quark?
An anti-up quark is an antiquark which corresponds to the up quark.
What is is the Relationship between quark and subatomic particle?
A quark is a kind of subatomic particle, and 3 quarks makes up another subatomic particle (a baryon). A quark and an anti-quark make up another kind of sub-atomic particle, (a meson).
Two up quarks and one down quark make up which of the following particles?
Yes, contrast to Proton which is made up of Two up and one down quark.
What is is made up of smaller protons and neutrons?
Atoms are made up of Protons and neutrons and electrons. Quarks make up Protons and Neutrons. Protons are made up of 2 up quarks and one down quark. Neutrons are made up of 2 down quarks and 1 up quark. A down quark has a charge of -1/3. An up quark has a charge of +2/3.
What sound does a duck physicist make?
Quark quark.
If protons are positive and are made of two up quarks and one down quark why do neutrons have no charge but are made of two down quarks and one up quark?
The reason that protons are positive and neutrons have no charge is owed to the fact that quarks, which make up these particles, do not have integral charge. The charge of an up quark is +2/3, and the charge of a down quark is -1/3. When the charges of the quarks are added for the particles, we get the following: Proton = up quark + up quark + down quark = 2/3 + 2/3 - 1/3 = 4/3 - 1/3 = 3/3 = +1 Neutron = up quark + down quark + down quark = 2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = 2/3 - 2/3 = 0 (zero)
What are 3 particle's of the atom?
The up quark, the down quark, and the electron. Two up quarks and a down quark form a proton, and two down quarks and an up quark form a neutron.
What can a quark do?
a quark is a fundamental constituent of matter. It is what makes up protons and neutrons and there is nothing smaller than them. They cannot DO anything alone, merely make up other things
What are neutral pions made of?
-Down and anti-Down quark, -Up and anti-Up quark or -Strange and anti-Strange quark
The particle that may make up both protons and neutrons is called the?
quark
How do you make an up quark?
Hang a duck upside down while gargling.
What molecules are part of a quark?
Molecules are not part of a quark, quite the reverse.Quarks are theoretical particles that make up, in various combinations, subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons.Protons, neutrons and electrons make up atoms of elements in their various combinations.Atoms of elements make up molecules in their various combinations.
