Carbon dioxide gas is produced to raise quick or yeast breads. In yeast breads, this gas is generated through the fermentation process when yeast consumes sugars and releases carbon dioxide and alcohol. In quick breads, carbon dioxide is typically produced by the reaction of baking soda or baking powder with acidic ingredients. This gas creates bubbles in the dough, causing it to rise and resulting in a light, airy texture.
a yeast dough uses yeast and a quick bread uses baking powder or baking soda.

Quick breads are leavened with baking powder or baking soda. Yeast breads are leavened with yeast, and require more time to rise.
Quick breads such as muffins, unlike yeast breads, can be baked immediately after the ingredients are mixed. In other words, there is no need to wait for leavening to occur before baking the muffins because they rise during baking. Therefore, they are relatively quick to make. Yeast breads on the other hand require a lot of time for leavening before baking and are much more time consuming.Source: "Understanding Food" by Amy Brown
Breads and quick breads expand because of air. In yeast breads the yeast eats the sugar and makes carbon dioxide that puts air into the bread. In quick breads a chemical reaction similar to vinegar and baking soda makes air that expands the bread. Bread that has been expended is softer to eat.
No, not all bread contains yeast. Some breads, like unleavened bread, are made without yeast. Yeast is used in many bread recipes to help the dough rise and create a light, fluffy texture, but there are also breads that are made without yeast, such as flatbreads or quick breads.
Yes. All "quick breads" are made without yeast, including (American) muffins, cornbread, fruit and nut breads and biscuits. Many flat breads also are made without yeast, including matzo, chapattis and pancakes.
Quick breads are baked goods that are leavened with baking powder or baking soda instead of yeast, making them quick to prepare and bake. Examples of popular types of quick breads include banana bread, zucchini bread, muffins, and scones.
Quick bread is a type of bread that is leavened with baking powder or baking soda instead of yeast. It is called "quick" because it does not require the time-consuming process of proofing and rising that yeast bread does. This makes quick breads faster and easier to make.
Flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, salt. There is no yeast in a quick bread.

I've ben prescribed to eat baker's yeast to help clear up an infection and it was a successful treatment. Yeast from grapes is used to jump-start fermentation of fruits that have no natural yeast, when wishing to make a wine from them. The yeast breaks down the fruit's sugar into carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. And in that way I successfully produced wines from carobs, loquats, grapefruit and several other fruits (not liquors, but wines).
