Hi Raja, You can understand maneatis cell in terms of current. Please see the attached figure. The figure plots the different current components of a maneatis cell w.r.to voltage across it.
The currnet through the current source transistor is shown in red color. The current thru diode connected is shown in blue curve. The average current (Itotal*0.5) is shown in black color. I have shown Itotal*0.5 current rather than Itotal, since it shows nicely how averaging is happening in the cell. Current will become some kind of linear across the voltage range and hence the cell acts as a linear resistor.
