Explanation:

Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment. Wearing appropriate clothing (heavier in cold, lighter in warm) helps regulate body temperature, which is a form of homeostasis. Basal metabolic rate is the rate at which the body uses energy when at rest. Standard deviation is a statistical measure. Prototype is a concept in cognitive psychology (a mental representation of the best example of a category).

homeostasis.
