"People in Albany and New York City are using “green roofs” to improve the environment. A green roof can be added to many buildi

ngs that have large, flat roofs. Green roofs have three parts: a protective layer to separate plant roots from the roof of the building, an absorptive layer to catch and hold rainwater, and a layer of plants. Often, green roofs use Sedum, a short, desert plant, because it is efficient at storing water in its leaves and can withstand the colder climate.
A green roof saves energy, reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and prevents rainwater and melting snow from overloading sewer systems. It can also protect the roof of a building from damage. However, green roofs can be expensive to install, and require care and maintenance.

State one reason why it is important to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."

This information cannot be obtained from the text, and we need to access general knowledge: why carbon dioxide is harmful to the environment.

It is harmful, for example, because it is one of the greenhouse gases, that is a gas that traps the heat in the Earth's atmosphere and leads to a warming up of our planet (global warming). Earth's temperature should be balanced, because any changes can have catastrophic effects: warming of the planet leads to the melting of ice caps and can cause floods, for example

Investiga como se reproducen las células madres​
Damm [24]

Answer:

Las células madre son células que se reproducen constantemente y tienen la capacidad de transformarse en cualquier otro tipo de célula del cuerpo de un organismo. Una célula a partir de la cual pueden crecer todos los tejidos del cuerpo, o una gran parte de ellos, es obviamente una célula extremadamente útil.  

Si las células madre se guían en la formación de tejidos sanos y funcionales, entonces, potencialmente, la terapia celular podría aplicarse para muchas enfermedades. De hecho, si las células provienen del propio paciente, en teoría no habrá riesgo de su rechazo (como lamentablemente ocurre con los trasplantes).

Las células madre tienen la capacidad de reproducirse por sí mismas a través del proceso de mitosis celular, para crear copias idénticas (clones) de sí mismas..
