Quarks and leptons are not elements.
The basic particle from which all elements are made is an atom. Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Different elements are characterized by the number of protons in the nucleus, which determines their unique chemical properties.
This is an age old question. Philosophers and scientists have theorized for years, and research is still being conducted at places such as CERN in Switzerland. Google the term "God Particle". For the purposes of a high-school or first year college course, it is an atom. But know that this is not true. Atoms or composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons, which are all also composed of components, and so forth.
Three subatomic particles found in atoms besides protons, neutrons, and electrons are up quarks, down quarks, and gluons. Up quarks and down quarks are the fundamental particles that make up the protons and neutrons found in atomic nuclei. Gluons are the exchange particles that transfer the information regarding the strong nuclear force between the quarks.
Atoms... ---> protons, nuetrons, electrons ----> up and down quirks, subatomic particles and if you believe in string theory----. quarks are made up of vibrating springs.
Protons and neutrons are composed of smaller particles called quarks. Protons are made of two "up" quarks and one "down" quark, while neutrons are made of two "down" quarks and one "up" quark. Electrons are fundamental particles and are classified as leptons.
No.
No, they are their whole own category.

Quarks, most particles made of quarks, leptons, and the W boson.
Probably "strings" but until that is proven quarks or leptons.

Quarks and leptons are produced immediately after the big bang.
Any particle that is not a hadron does not contain quarks. Fundamental bosons and leptons are the only category of particles that do not contain quarks.
Hadrons are particles composed of quarks. There are two (known) types of hadrons: mesons, which consist of a quark and an antiquark, and baryons, which consist of three quarks (or three antiquarks). Leptons are a separate type of particles. They are not composed of quarks, but are elementary particles in their own right.
