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.

How are round island day gecko teeth adapted to what they eat?
Geckos don't have teeth, they eat crickets and stuff like that for two main reasons: geckos aren't that big, epically as babies so insects and worms are the only thing they can eat, and to get the nutrients that they need, this is going back to the food chain the cricket gets the nutrients it needs by eating grass, then the lizard eats the cricket getting the grass and the cricket, which is eaten by the snake, which is eaten by the hawk, which is eaten by the coyote, which will mostly likely be killed by the human (hopefully not to be eaten by the human)
How do parts of a food chain interact?
Food chains interact because an organism can be in more than one food chain. When this happens, it is also called a food web. Ex.for food chain: plankton gets eaten by fish, fish get eaten by dolphins. Ex.fir food web: birds and squirells ear sunflower seeds, the birds get eaten by foxes, coyotys, eagles and hawks. Back on the squirells side, it gets eaten by foxes, coyotys, and eagles too.

How are matter and nutrients cycled back into the ecosystem from which they came from?
Saprobiants (or to you and me microbes) many different types do different things, but basically they brake down the larger chains normally into the soil, they're then taken up by plants which are eaten by primary consumers and the chain goes on! example of a few are nitrogen fixing bacteria in the nitrogen cycle.
What does not get eaten in a food web?
Usually a food web will have a top predator or maybe a few of them and these top predators don't get eaten. These predators will be the final consumers, however, when they die the nutrients and energy is cycled back through the web when decomposers feed on the carcasses.

Where do materials coming from dead plants and animals?
Every living thing will, on death, break down into chemicals (nutrients) that can be absorbed back into the cycle of life. Grass is eaten by grazing animals, the waste is dropped onto the ground and breaks down into fibre and nutrients. The nutrients then enter the soil and feed the next generation of plants and grasses.
