Biscuit dough with no leavening will produce one of a number of variants of "hardtack" or ship's biscuits. If you end up with some hardtack by accident just wrap it in a cheesecloth and hang it in a closet until you can get to a Renaissance fair. You can sell your botched biscuits as "Iron Rations" and make a fortune.

Depends upon what kind of biscuit you are trying to make!
As someone else said, the bicarb or baking powder just helps them to rise.

A bisquit without baking powder is basically just a cracker.
Sorry

If you dont use baking powder or soda they wont rise and will be hard as rocks.

I do fine using plain self-rising flour. Mine are always fluffy and yum-yum even without the soda and baking powder.
Hope it helps you! Good luck!

Depends on the recipe, but you will be fine most times without it.
I usually don't use it.. Good luck!

it depends on what the recipe calls for maybe not if you have self-rising flour but more than likely you will
