Is it true that $(\int f)^2 \le \int f^2$, $e^{\int f} \le \int e^f$?

Let $(X, \mathcal{A}, \mu)$ be a measure space. Suppose $\mu(X) = 1$, and let $f: X \to \mathbb{R}$ be Lebesgue integrable. Are the following inequalities true or not?

$$(\int f)^2 \le \int f^2$$ $$e^{\int f} \le \int e^f$$

These follow from Jensen's Inequality and the fact that $x^2$ and $e^x$ are convex functions.
