No, baking powder and yeast are not the same when it comes to baking. Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent that reacts with liquid and heat to create carbon dioxide gas, which helps baked goods rise. Yeast, on the other hand, is a living organism that ferments sugars to produce carbon dioxide gas, which also helps baked goods rise.
