1. You can fold bread slices made with yeast...Quick breads don't fold
worth a damn. The developed gluten allows for more twistability in yeast
raised breads

2. the crumb structure is different. Quick breads have smaller air spaces.
Hence no folding.

There's probably more differences as well, like with similar sized slices
the quick bread is heavier by far.


Hope this helps with your homework assignment.
