leavining agents usually involve yeast which when mixed in water then added to a flour base wil increase the volume because yeastdoubles and even triples in size due to the fact that it is a living organism which when kept warm will increase size at least 100% if left alone under a towel to keep it warm.

Eggs are also sometimes used as a leavening agent, especially in some pound cake recipes. Without leavening, the baked goods will not only be flat, but won't taste as good, either.
What about bakingsoda?
Baking soda produces gas for leavening when combined with acidic ingredient such as vinegar, lemon juice, or molasses. The volume of quick breads, cookies, cakes, and some candies depend largely on the amount of baking soda added to the batter or dough. Reducing the amount of baking soda without replacing it with another leavening agent (Baking Powder, Yeast, and Cream of Tartar are leavening agents) will reduce the volume and lightness of the finished product.
