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.

Is Baking soda the same as bicarbonate soda?
For the most part yes but just to be sure buy the one that says "bicarbonate" on the box. No, bicarbonate is not the same as baking soda. However, bicarbonate is a compound of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). The most common salt of the bicarbonate ion is bicarbonate of soda (a.k.a. sodium bicarbonate), marketed as baking soda. Bicarbonate in organic chemistry is an intermediate form in the deprotonation of carbonic acid. it's chemical formula is HCO3. Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical rose in the physiological pH buffering system. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate and is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. NaHCO3 is mainly prepared by the Solvay process, which is the reaction of calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, ammonia, and carbon dioxide in water. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an amphoteric compound.
