Is there are 1:1 ratio of matter and energy in the universe?

modification to question

I hope this isn't a dumb question. I was thinking in really general terms. How about this? For every "matter" particle (protons, quarks, electrons, et al.) is there exactly one force particle? So is there one gluon for every quark? One photon for every electron? Does that make sense? Would that constitute a 1:1 ratio?
