Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description.

More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2

Are Alkenes isometric with cycloalkanes?

No, alkenes are not isomeric with cycloalkanes. Alkenes are hydrocarbons with a carbon-carbon double bond, while cycloalkanes are hydrocarbons with carbon atoms forming a closed ring structure. Isomers have the same molecular formula but different connectivity of atoms.
