Why do people need the process of decay?
People need the process of decay because it returns the nutrients to the soil. The nutrients then travel throughout the food chain to people.
If a mouse dies and is not eaten by a owl how do the nutrients from the mouse go back into the food chain?
it is a mouse
Is every animal in the food chain?
Yes every living thing forms part of the food chain eventually. If a animal dies it becomes part of the food chain, because bacteria brakes it down and put the necessary nutrients back to earth.
What organisms in the food chain is responsible for recycling nutrients?
The organism that produces food in the food chain for other organisms is the producer. The producer is usually a green plant that is eaten by an omnivore or a herbivore. And the food chain continues
What is a food chain used for?
A food chain is made from producers, consumers, and decomposers. producers- any kind of plants consumers- herbivores, omnivores, carnivores decomposers- break down waste and put nutrients back in the soil

Recycle nutrients
What paths of energy and nutrients through a community?
Food chain is the paths energ and nutrients trough a community
Which group of organisms completes the food chain by returning nutrients to the soil?
Decomposers
What is the role of decomposers in a food chain?

If a mouse dies and is not eaten by an owl how do the nutrients from the mouse go back into the food chain?
The answer is quite simple. The mouse will be decomposed into nutrients by bacteria or saprophytes and when rain falls, it dissolves into water which will then be absorbed by a plant. And then the plant photosynthesis and the whole process will repeat.
