One example of a compound that does not contain hydrocarbon groups is water (H2O). Water is a simple compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen, with no hydrocarbon chains or rings present.
Six-membered hydrocarbon rings, such as cyclohexane, are the most common in nature due to their stability and prevalence in organic compounds found in living organisms. These rings can be found in various natural products such as essential oils, terpenes, and steroids.
Steroids have a four-ring carbon structure, while oils typically consist of long hydrocarbon chains. Steroids have specific functional groups attached to their carbon rings, which give them unique biological activities. Oils are generally nonpolar molecules used for energy storage or as lubricants, while steroids have various physiological roles in the body.
Lipid macromolecules primarily consist of long hydrocarbon chains or rings, making them hydrophobic and nonpolar. Common types include triglycerides, which are formed from glycerol and three fatty acids; phospholipids, consisting of glycerol, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group; and sterols, characterized by a multi-ring structure. These structural variations contribute to their diverse functions in biological membranes, energy storage, and signaling.
Particles are hydrophobic if they have nonpolar regions that repel water molecules. This is typically due to the presence of long hydrocarbon chains or aromatic rings that lack charge and do not interact favorably with water molecules. Hydrophobic particles tend to cluster together in water to minimize their contact with water molecules.

Technically, sugar is not "fatty". A fat molecule is comprised of long hydrocarbon chains connected by a glycerol molecule. Sugar, on the other hand, is comprised of short oxidized hydrocarbon rings that are very easy for the body to digest. The drawbacks of consuming sugar are that since it is so easy to digest the body uses it quickly increasing your energy level, but after it wheres off the energy crash is very inconvenient. Also, sugar sometimes encourages the growth of bad bacteria.

A bicyclobutane is a bicyclic hydrocarbon consisting of two separate cyclobutane rings joined by a single bond, or a highly strained, bicyclic hydrocarbon consisting of two fused cyclopropane rings.

nitrogern
This element is carbon.
Aromatic amino acids have a benzene ring in their side chain, which includes phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. Aliphatic amino acids have straight or branched hydrocarbon chains in their side chains, which include alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine.
Cholesterol is classified as a sterol, and is made up of a hydrocarbon tail, four hydrocarbon rings (making it a steroid), and a hydroxyl group (making it an alcohol).
An acene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon containing a rectilinear arrangement of fused benzene rings.
