cells have to divide during mitosis because if they grow too large, materials that pass through the selectively permeable membrane will take to long to get to the organelle that it needs to get to. and when that happens the cell(s) die and your body cannot properly function and you will eventually die

Do all cells undergo mitosis division?

Yes, ALL cells undergo cell division. Because if there were types of cells that don't undergo cell division, these cells' specialization wouldn't be able to grow or be replaced.

What is the purpose of mitosis in single-celled organisms?

The purpose of mitosis is to have a cell division which allows the cell to reproduce. During mitosis the cell is divided into separate organisms.Single celled organisms are no longer single celled if they undergo mitosis. If it is a single celled organism that is supposed to become a multicellular organism, it will undergo mitosis to grow.
