Premolars are similar to molars but differ in function. Molars only grind whereas premolars hold and grind your food. Anatomically they are different as well. Premolars have 3 cusps where molars have 4 or 5. Premolars have two roots where molars can have 2 or 3. Premolars are succedaneous where molars are non-succedaneous.
Hope that helps.
