It completely depends on where you put the Oxygen atoms as you will produce one of the following:
- Alcohol if it is attached to a carbon atom with a single covalent bond to both the carbon atom and a hydrogen atom.
- Oxalic acid
- Ester
- Aldehyde
- Carboxalic acid if you have the group COOH produced.
- Ether
- Hydrate
- Hydroxide
-Organic peroxide
- Peroxide
- Oxide
-Super Oxide
- Hemihydrate
- Ketone
- Ketal/ Acetal compound
Along with other less common or less known oxygen containing compounds consisting of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, it all depends on how much Oxygen and more importantly on where the Oxygen is placed in the molecule.

If you added oxygen alone it would combust (depending on activation energy being provided). However, if the oxygen is added chemically through various mechanisms you can form a number of products depending on where the oxygen ends up, and what the original hydrocarbon was.

While it is true that carbohydrates(sugars and starches) contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. If you put a hydrocarbon and oxygen together and get them to react, they would burn, like gasoline burning. When they react they would produce carbon dioxide and water.

I don't think so. Carbohydrates are sugars joined together. Hydrocarbons are much simpler than that I think.

It would greatly deppend on the conditions. under cirtain conditions you may be able to make a carbohydrate but more regulary you would get a alchohol.

NO!
You'll get CO2 and H2O only! Combustion.
CxHy + (x+ y/4) O2 -> x CO2 + (y/2) H2O

No.
When you burn a hydrocarbon in oxygen, you will only get water and carbon dioxide.
e.g. 2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O
