Explanation:

Predation is one of the mode of feedings used by certain organisms. It is a relationship between two organisms in which one of the organisms called PREDATOR kills/harms and feed on the other organism called PREY.

According to this question, the two examples that represent predation are as follows:

- A deer eats the leaves of a tree; the deer, which is the PREDATOR feeds on a tree plant, which is the PREY.

- A snail eats a clam; the snail is the PREDATOR in this case and it harms the clam (PREY) by killing and feeding on it.
