Describe the quark content of a particle that has a charge of $-e$ and contains one strange quark. Is this particle a baryon or a meson? Note: There is more than just one answer (but you only need to give one).
An antiproton is similar to a proton, but with charge $-e$. What are the charges on the three quarks that form an antiproton?
