A Lepton, is one group of fundamental particles of the universe, Quark is the name of the other group. In each group there are 6 fundamental particles, and 6 of their anti particles. Most of the matter that you see around you is baryonic material, you see Leptons can exsist on their own, for instance the electron, where as quarks team up to form baryons or mesons. A meson is a pair of quarks and a baryon is made of three quarks. A proton is made up uud (u-up, d-down, these are some of the names of particles called quarks which partically make up an atom), and a neutron is made up ddu, this is called baryonic matter because it's made of baryons, also we cannot touch or interact with all of the fundamental particles and some of them are very mysterious. They make up everything in the universe and it's the most inspiring and compelling thing to study. I haven't really even scratched the surfae, but don't be afraid to dip into a few websites and text books, you'll find the information much more friendly than you would expect. But alike you I have no idea how the names match the profiles.

Take care
