The weight gained by Cricket within the 1-year period would be 8.75 or 8 3/4 pounds.
- Cricket weighed 3 3/4 pounds initially and 12.5 pounds after one year.
- In order to calculate the weight gained within the said period, the initial weight would be subtracted from the final weight.
Thus:
Weight gained = 12.5 - 3 3/4
= 12.5 - 3.75 or 12 1/2 - 3 3/4
= 8.75 or 8 3/4

The ability of organisms to regulate and thus maintain a relatively stable internal environment, despite external pressures, is called HOMEOSTASIS. This word comes from two Latin/Greek root words: "homeo" and "stasis".
"Homeo" means constant or unchanging. And "stasis" or "static" refers to stillness, non-movement. So, together, we can translate Homeostasis into a constant stillness inside, which makes sense for "maintaining normal internal states."
