They are both leavening agents, but baking powder is chemical and yeast is organic. Baking powder causes the release of CO2 by the reaction of a dry alkali and a dry acid which are combined in the powder. Add water, and the alkali and acid react. Yeast, on the other hand, is an organism which consumes carbohydrates, releasing CO2 and alcohol. The organism remains dormant until exposed to liquid and carbohydrates which is why you start yeast in a bowl of sugar water. The organisms wake up, start to consume the sugar, and reproduce.

Quick breads are leavened with baking powder or baking soda. Yeast breads are leavened with yeast, and require more time to rise.
Expired yeast may not work as effectively for baking, as it may have lost some of its leavening power. It's best to use fresh yeast for optimal results in baking.
I do not believe that ammonia is ever used in baking anything edible, unless you plan on killing the people who eat it.
Yeast, like baking soda (and baking powder), is used to leavened baked goods . The difference between these leavening agents is that baking powder/soda react chemically to produce the carbon dioxide that makes the baked goods rise. Yeast, on the other hand, is a living organism and the carbon dioxide it produces is the result of the yeast feeding on the dough. When yeast is used in baked goods it not only increases the volume but also improves the texture, grain and flavor of the bread.
When you use yeast it takes longer and doesn't get as big, cause you let yeast bread rise.More information:The question is not clear, because in common English usage, "bread baking" assumes the use of yeast. Breads that do not use yeast are called "quick breads" and use baking powder or baking soda for leavening.
Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent that reacts with liquid and heat to create carbon dioxide gas, causing baked goods to rise. Yeast is a living organism that consumes sugars and produces carbon dioxide gas through fermentation, which also helps baked goods rise. Yeast requires time to ferment, while baking powder works quickly.
a yeast dough uses yeast and a quick bread uses baking powder or baking soda.
Baking powder or baking soda can be used as substitutes for yeast in baking.
Yeast is a living organism that produces carbon dioxide gas through fermentation, causing dough to rise. Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent that reacts with liquid and heat to release carbon dioxide gas, helping baked goods rise.
