What leavening agent is used in quick breads?
Leavening agents are the ingredients that make the baked goods rise so they are light and airy. It could be yeast, baking soda, or baking powder. Sometimes in cakes, the eggs are whipped into a froth to add air to the cake and this acts as a leavening agent.

Are baking soda and baking powder considered rising agents as yeast is?
Yes, baking soda and baking powder serve as rising agents in some recipes, as yeast does in others.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes, all three are considered to be types of leavening. However baking soda and baking powder work by a different process than yeast does to generate the carbon dioxide that causes the dough or batter to rise, therefore they also have different uses in recipes.
What exactly is a baking soda?
Baking soda is a type of chemical that has several different uses, primarily in baking. It's a weak alkaline and is a white powder made up of crystalised grains. It can also be used when doing laundry.
What is the difference between baking soda and baking powder and yeast?
Yeast, like baking soda (and baking powder), is used to leavened baked goods . The difference between these leavening agents is that baking powder/soda react chemically to produce the carbon dioxide that makes the baked goods rise. Yeast, on the other hand, is a living organism and the carbon dioxide it produces is the result of the yeast feeding on the dough. When yeast is used in baked goods it not only increases the volume but also improves the texture, grain and flavor of the bread.
What are the uses of baking powder?
Baking powder can be used for cleaning, cooking and odor control.
What is an alternative to bicarbonate soda?
Depends on what reciepe you are using and what the purpose is: I often use yeast but in some recipes depending on the fluffiness of the cake I will sometimes use baking soda. A friend of mine uses "fizzy water" (carbonated water) as an alternative. Yeast is only used in bread related recipes, whereas bicarb can be used n cakes ~ Baking Soda in a recipe is to help with 'spreadability of the cookie or cake. You don't use it in pancakes so you want the batter to 'stay put'. In a cookie, you want it to spread out a bit, in the cake, you want it to fill in the space of the pan. Baking Soda and Baking Powder CAN be used for each other in a subbing situation. They are both considered leavening agents. In choosing to substitute one for the other you have to know the ratio AND the fact the flavor WILL be DIFFERENT. 1 TSP of Baking Soda needs 3 TSP of Baking Powder. OMIT all SALT. Reverse it to use soda instead of baking powder. You can also use 2 tsp soda and 1 tsp cream of tarter to create BAKING POWDER. Again, omit the salt from the recipe. AGAIN, any substitutions of ingredients, expect flavor change to happen.
Can baking powder and soda be used in a cooked mixture rather than in the flour mixture in a recipe?
I personally would never use baking soda or baking soda as a substitute for flour because they have different uses. Plus, that much baking soda or baking powder and no flour would leave a horrible taste in your mouth. Baking soda and baking powder are only used to make food rise while cooking and only a small amount of each is needed. While flour is more for adding density and flavour. If you're looking for a substitute for regular wheat flour, I would suggest oat flour, corn flour or soy flour.
