Only five types are necessary, since two different colors act the same as an anti-particle of the third. Between protons and electrons, their function is carried out by virtual mesons, but within a nucleon, their amplitude increases with distance, so their effect is more springlike than that of their analogues, the photons, gravitons, and W and Z bosons. For 10 points—identify these particles which bind quarks together as carriers of the primary strong nuclear force.
