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.

Is cellular respiration exergonic or endergonic?

Cellular respiration, or aerobic cellular respiration, is exergonic because energy is released from the breakdown of glucose and therefore the products have less energy then the starting substance.

Is aerobolic exergonic or endurgonic?

Aerobic processes are exergonic, meaning they release energy. Aerobic respiration, for example, breaks down glucose with the help of oxygen to produce ATP and energy.
