No, baking soda cannot replace baking powder in all recipes because baking powder includes a acidic ingredient along with baking soda and certain salts that cause batter or dough to rise. Baking soda is purely alkaline, and requires the addition of some type of acidic ingredient in the recipe to produce the proper rise. Different recipes are formulated for either baking soda or baking powder.
I suppose you could, but the recipe will probably taste terrible - and the crust won't rise.

How do you make cupcakes using no baking soda?
Use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour, and you can leave out the baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Can you substitute baking baking powder for baking soda?
Yes, but you should only use 1/3 of the amount of baking powder specified, when switching to baking soda. i.e do not substitute on a 1:1 basis. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. So although baking soda is not exactly the same as baking powder, it is also far stronger. Your cookies will turn out slightly differently, but using baking soda is better than leaving out both leavening agents, since this will result in really hard cookies. Alternatively, use self-raising flour and miss out baking powder and soda.
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.

it may not just be baking soda if it has baking soda baking powder salt and all-purpose flour in it that is just like using self rising flour sometimes it does not have to have baking powder in it for you to improvise self rising flour instead.
Is baking powder better for baking?
One is not better than the other. Baking soda will make the cookies crisper, and make them rise more. Baking powder will make them softer. Take your pick. I baked cookies with baking soda and it made the cookies look more like sticky bread than cookies. You absolutely can NOT use baking soda at all. Baking powder is for cookies, baking soda is for stuff you want to rise (like bread). The answer above is false.
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.
What can you substitute for baking soda and baking powder?
i dont know bou i do know that i am a former chef and Serena is on the right track, if you do not have cream of tarter, use 1 teaspoon of soda and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, all baking powder is 60% baking soda, 20% cream of tarter and 20% cornstarch. So you can make you own or use what you have, if you use straight soda then use one 1/3 of the recipes requested amount.
