Can you imagine what could happen if like plants, animals including man had unlimited growth throughout life?

What do you mean by limited growth? I do not understand quite what you mean. Do you mean how large they get? Or perhaps how much they can populate? Or perhaps you mean something else.

Plants can grow throughout their life but an animal can grow upto a certain age after which there is no growth that is the number of cells can not be increased any more.

Ah, I see. Well, if everything were to grow at the same pace as you suggest I think there would be problems within our eco-system. Possible shortages of food for certain animals that thrive on plant matter.

Man didn't but some animals did when there was dinosuars and other large animals like mammonths. I don't know if that would work now a days. I think we would run out of space and food! Not to mention water! We would be extremely over crowded! It would not be a pleasent place to live!

If the earth would go back years ago, then this is but normal. Species then were giants and with enormous size unimaginable to today's humans. If this could happen again,we'll loose our dominion over this lower species, they will rule us and dominate the population. We'll be helpless!

Hi friend,
Actually people and animals had grown taller than our imaginations long back, well when I say long back, go back a few ages or era together!
People were normally 140-150 feet tall and the trees too in the forests were equally taller or more taller than the human beings! Its a fact that is seldom known to us and I too got to know about these things recently!
Well, the reason behind us being so short when our ancestors were so tall is the reduce in the size of the Ozone layer! The decrease in the thickness of this layer has caused us to be so short! Scientists even say that, there may be chances of people being as short as 2 feet as the ages pass on as the thickness of the O zone layer decreases more and more!
Well, The well known perfect examples for the existence of the huge sized people are the Pandavas and the Kauravas who existed in the Dwaparayug and the animals of such kinds are the dinosaurs which were very huge, which are now distinct, but existed! Well, about the trees, when we go deep into the forests of south america, we certainly do find a lot of such huge trees which almost touch the sky!
These are a little facts, which a few may not agree, but then a fact is a fact!
Cheers!
Happy Mylotting! :)

Scarey. It would be interesting in a science fiction sort of way. The imagination does go to town on this. Like the Venus Fly Trap for instance. Ugh! I used to have one and it actually worked. I would freak to see a huge one that was still growning. This brings to mind- what about things that live along time and grow? Hmm

Oh! That would bring inbalance in nature!
And so many things will have to change, like the sizes of clothes, cages, cars, houses, etc..

Your question is not clear enough.
If you are asking about growth of animals than it is already growing on huge basis and even humans (we) eating them daily but there is no major difference in there growth similarly Humans are also growing on the fast pace even though plenty of them been killed in war's accidents, natural disasters and daily street crimes but the growth is not affected Marjory.
Fast human growth is making problems like more jobless people, more poverty, more hunger, more injustice, More anger, more frustration etc.
If you elaborate further your question than you can get more specific answer.
