Hydro means water so hydrocarbons are compound that contain carbon. They also hydrogen and oxygen, usually in a 2 to 1 ratio like water. Some examples of hydrocarbons are sugars and starches, oil and gasoline. Plants make hydrocarbons during photosynthesis when they combine water with carbon dioxide from the air and store energy in the molecules for later use.
