Baking powder is a "leavening agent" that makes cakes rise. Baking soda and cream of tartar together do the same job -- they react to make carbon dioxide gas. If you try to make cupcakes without either baking soda, or the combination of baking soda and cream of tartar, your cupcakes will not rise and you will get something close to cookies.
Corn starch is a thickener and acts similarly to flour. If you have flour, corn starch may not be necessary.

How can you Substitue cream of tartar in meringues?
I'm not positive. The reverse substitution is for 1 tsp. of baking powder, you use 1/4-1/2 tsp. of baking soda and 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar. So you could try using baking powder instead of cream of tartar, but it's not guaranteed. If there is supposed to be baking soda and cream of tartar in the recipe and you substituted baking powder, that would be more likely to succeed.

Bicarbonate of soda mixed with cream of tartar (this mixture is essentially what baking powder is comprised of).

What would you put baking soda in?
Baking soda is a leavening agent and is used in many different types of baked goods. Many cookie recipes call for baking soda rather than baking powder. Recipe's such as Red Velvet Cake and some chocolate cakes also call for baking soda, some along with baking powder, some as the only leavening agent. Baking soda combined with equal amounts of cornstarch and twice as much cream of tartar can be used to replace baking powder. Use about one-quarter the amount of baking soda as the recipe calls for baking powder, and then scale the corn starch and cream of tartar accordingly.
