That depends on the isotope! Choose an isotope, count the total number of protons + neutrons, and multiply the result by 3, since both protons and neutrons have 3 quarks each. Note: in the case of helium, the number of protons is 2 in each case, but the number of neutrons can vary, depending on the isotope. The most common isotope has 2 neutrons, but there are other isotopes as well.
There are 3 up quarks in a helium nucleus.
The common isotope of Helium ( helium 4 ) contains 4 nucleons - 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Ifyou want to consider the quarks which are believed to make up the nucleons you have 6 up-quarks and 6 down-quarks, for a total of 12. You can't add 12 and 4 to make 16 because that would mean counting the quarks twice. So you have 4 or 12, according to taste. If you want to include gluons or other virtual particles you are on your own. Anyway, a certain Mr.Heisenberg (all right, uncertain) tells us the quicker you can count the more there will be.
Well, people CAN'T see air, or atoms, or gluons, or electrons, or quarks, or helium, or hydrogen, or ribosomes with the naked eye.
The helium in a child's balloon is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic gas that is an elemental gas. Helium is the second lightest element in the universe and is abundantly found in stars, as well as in natural gas deposits on Earth.
Hadrons are composed of 3 quarks. Protons and neutrons are hadrons. The 2 types of quarks used in this instance are up quarks and down quarks. Yes, there are quarks in a nucleus.
There are 3 up quarks in a helium nucleus.
A Helium Nucleus so 2 protons and 2 neutrons Quarks are contained within the neutrons & protons and there are many types
A proton is made up of two up quarks and one down quark.
In an atom, the neutrons and protons are made up of up quarks and down quarks. Strange quarks, charms quarks, top quarks, and bottom quarks also exist, but do not play as much of a role in the structure of an atom.
Aluminum does not have quarks. Quarks are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of atoms. Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus, each made up of quarks.

Six quarks: Up and down ; Charm and Strange; Top and Bottom.

Protons and neutrons, like all hadrons, are comprised of three quarks each.
