Yes, cellular respiration is an example of an exergonic reaction (releasing energy for usage) as opposed to photosynthesis (the plant's need the sun's energy to create glucose) an endergonic reaction.

Why? Cellular respiration breaks down glucose molecules(which contain energy), so energy is released. The reactants start with a high level of energy(the reactants are whole glucose molecules) and the products are created with a low level of energy because energy is released. The energy that is released from this process can be used to perform work in the cell.
No, it releases energy.
