Is there any chance that over massive time and distance scales the plants, stars, or even galaxies behave like atoms or quarks?

No. This is a very frequent question and you can find many dedicated threads about it. All quarks of a given type are exactly identical and this matters for their behavior. Similarly, we can prepare atoms that are all identical. That doesn't apply to macroscopic structures that are all different. They would not behave like subatomic particles or atoms at all.
