No one really knows. What has been observed and conjectured is that mass is decomposed, rearranged, and confined within an accretion disk of plamsa energy.

How does a black hole admit gamma rays?
Just like any matter, light or other electromagnetic waves (this includes gamma rays), if they happen to get within the black hole's event horizon, will just get absorbed, slightly increasing the mass of the black hole.
Where are the horizons within black holes located?
The event horizon of a black hole is a spherical area round the center of the black hole; it has a radius proportional to the mass of the black hole - a radius of about 2.95 kilometers for every solar mass.
Can a black hole travel?
Yes. A black hole can move just like anything else with mass.
What happens to a mass when it is swallowed by a black hole?
The object swallowed by the black hole is destroyed; its mass is added to the mass of the black hole.
Is an Intermediate-mass black hole a type of black hole?
Yes. Intermediate-mass blackhole is a medium size black hole. Scientists have found stellar black holes and supermassive black holes but there is no prove that Intermediate-mass black type of black holes exist. My opinion is that they do exist because when a black hole is becoming a black hole supermassiveblack hole it will need to go though this stage of intermediate-mass black hole.
What is the significance of the Schwarzschild radius?
Anything within the Schwarzschild radius can't escape from the black hole, even at the speed of light.Anything within the Schwarzschild radius can't escape from the black hole, even at the speed of light.Anything within the Schwarzschild radius can't escape from the black hole, even at the speed of light.Anything within the Schwarzschild radius can't escape from the black hole, even at the speed of light.
What happens if anti matter enters a black hole?
Probably the mass of the black hole would increase, just as when normal matter falls in.
How can the mass of a black hole can be measured?
The mass of a black hole can be measure by the effects of its gravity on surrounding objects.
What would happen if a black hole entered your solar system?
A lot would depend on the mass of the black hole. A black hole the mass of an asteroid (should any of that size exist) would probably enter the Solar System and get back out again, just like any comet. We might not even notice it. A black hole the mass of a star would probably cause a lot of disruption in the orbits of the planets.A lot would depend on the mass of the black hole.

Do Black holes suck in all Matter?

How big do event horizons get?
Assuming you mean the event horizon of a black hole (there are other types as well), the diameter of a black hole as measured by its event horizon is directly proportional to its mass. The larger the mass, the larger the diameter. Thus, as a black hole's mass increases, it will get bigger. The only limitation is how much mass a black hole is able to incorporate from its surroundings.
What becomes of energy when it is sucked up into a black hole?
Such energy has a mass equivalent (m = e/c2). Any such mass falling into the balck hole will increase the mass of the black hole.
